We reported on 28 October 2010 that unconfirmed reports on the website of the Afrikaner Volks Party claimed that ‘long-simmering racial tensions amongst the pupils at Parys Afrikaans High School in the Free State burst into the open last Thursday in a massive outbreak of physical violence’.

They claimed the ‘ fracas started when some 50 black and white pupils confronted each other in a violent fisticuffs during a break at the schoolgrounds, that one teacher who tried to take a cellphone away from a black male pupil was threatened; and that teachers were reportedly too terrified to interfere. “

Today, we received a brief official confirmation of ‘two incidents of violence’ that day from the Parys High School management in response to our enquiry. The unnamed official also wrote that the cases ‘will be investigated during the week of 1 – 5 November.”(communication below)

The Afrikaner Volksparty’s story related the incidents as follows: “Just outside the schoolgate, black female pupils reportedly organised attack groups – it was alleged that the girls first handed out scissors amongst themselves - and then started surrounding and threatening to kill lone Afrikaans classmates who were chased down by the girls in the schoolgrounds and outside the gates.”

A parent-teacher association member also was reported as saying that the Afrikaans High School was ‘a vulcano which is beginning to spew red-hot lava’. Our attempts to obtain independent confirmation have not yet been successful.

Fearful teachers and pupils reportedly ‘could only look on while white and black pupils engaged in hand-to-hand combat on the schoolgrounds’. It allegedly started when five black pupils jumped on one white Afrikaans pupil at the schoolgrounds and tried to assault him. Shortly afterwards a group of black female pupils – armed with scissors - formed a threatening ring around another Afrikaner Grade-Eight pupil. One teacher was allegedly threatened: she had ordered a black male pupil - who was apparently organising these events from a classroom via his cellphone -- to hand her the phone. He threatened her physically and the teacher was forced to leave.

Oct 27 2010 - Afrikaans sisters Rita Cloete and Lida Prinsloo, 76, were both hijacked on the same day in seperate armed attacks by armed gangs – eight hours apart at Mrs Prinsloo’s home in Springs. Mrs Cloete’s broken wrists – the attackers had beaten her with a rifle-butt – required surgery. The double hijackings took place in front of her sister Lida Prinsloo’s home in Eastvale Street, Springs. Cellphones and credit-cards were looted.

LOUD SIREN HAD GANG FLEE:

In both hijackings the attackers were very brutal and aggressive, yelled at the women in Afrikaans that they were going to get shot – and one hijacker had tried to run down the injured Mrs Cloete with her own car. Mrs Cloete was beaten with a rifle-butt and a family friend, Jeff Reece, had two shots fired towards him by the hijacking-gang when they drove up in the second attack. The armed gang then tried to attack the family members who had all fled inside - locking the security guard behind them while one had pushed the button activating their security system’s very loud siren. The gang then fled.

The double-hijackings started at noon as she had stepped outside, Mrs Prinsloo told Wolfram Zwecker of Beeld: “the next moment this man was at my car, screamed in Afrikaans: “I am going to shoot you,’ ripped the keys from my hand, jumped in the car, turned it around and then nearly ran me down as he drove off,’ she said. The gang attacked the family a second time when Mrs Prinsloo and her husband showed up from Potchefstroom to offload a cupboard at her sister’s house. Throughout the double-siege, Chanelle Rebello (4), Prinsloo’s granddaughter, hid away in the shower – and the little girl would only come out from behind the shower-curtain pnce the police and ambulance people showed up…Credit cards and cellphones were robbed. The extended family members also said they were ‘grateful that they were still alive’. http://www.beeld.com/Suid-Afrika/Nuus/Susters-gekaap-op-dieselfde-plek-dag-20101029

AFRIKANER PENSIONER BRUTALLY BEATEN IN GERMISTON

2010-10-28 - 75-year old Afrikaner pensioner Mrs Renske Cowan, 75 ,suffered a broken nose, extensive bruising to her face and an injured throat when an armed attacker assaulted her after breaking into her daughter’s humble dwelling in Primrose, Germiston while she was home alone, watching TV. The old woman was tied to a chair, beaten up and, throttled – and now can only sip liquid food through a straw.

Wolfram Zwecker of Beeld newspaper, who interviewed the traumatised woman a week after her ordeal, describes the fear she felt: “The entire time I just kept on thinking; don’t rape me because then I will kill myself…’ The attacker – who tore the security door off to get inside – dragged her through the house after beating her with a telephone, and tied her to a chair. The man searched the house for jewellery but the working-class family had very few things of value. He eventually left with the little bit of cash from her purse, a dvd-player and a computer monitor screen. The old lady managed to get loose from her bonds and sought help at her neighbour Mrs Hetta Barnard’s home. They called the police and the ambulance. ” The headline-writers of Beeld thought up the following uninformative headline: “Elder’s fears: just don’t rape’ http://www.beeld.com/Suid-Afrika/Nuus/Oue-se-vrees-Net-nie-verkrag-20101028Afrikaans pensioner brutally beaten in Germiston:http://censorbugbear-reports.blogspot.com/2010/10/afrikaans-pensioner-brutally-beaten-in.html

2010-10-29 Solidarity trade union labour-court head Dirk Groenewald says the SAPS is keeping posts vacant rather than appointing suitable, experienced and well-trained white candidates – the SAPS policy is to fill open posts with ‘unsuitable, untrained candidates as long as they are blacks’. The trade union lodged a test-case lawsuit in the labour court demanding that the SAPS end its anti-white hiring policies.http://www.beeld.com/Suid-Afrika/Nuus/Wittes-in-hofstryd-oor-poste-in-polisie-20101029

2010-10-28 Frail Afrikaner rape-victim Monya Holtzhausen, 23, mother of a one-year-old son, was brutally raped last Friday-morning by two black attackers who sneered at her praying for Jesus during her ordeal – telling her : “Your Jesus cannot help you now’.

Volksblad journalist Pieter Steyn, who interviewed the traumatised, deeply religious, redhaired mother, described her as ‘frail and terrified’. She and her fiancee Quintin Steyn , 24 and their one-year-old son were attacked on their smallholding at Estoire near Bloemfontein last Friday-morning, Oct 21.

Ms Holtzhauzen told the journalist that she now has “a terrifying feeling of hatred towards my rapists’. She gave permission to have her name to be published after her female family members started receiving threatening phone calls from her stolen cellphone, saying they ‘would be next’…

The SAPS investigating officer w/o Richard Botha has identified two men who ‘could assist the police in their investigation of this brutal rape’, namely Jimmy Lemane Chokchela, also known as ‘Pinkie or Rasta”, estimated age 40 to 50 years, with a beard and shortish ‘rasta-hair’. The second man is Luckyboy Emmanuel Mogoera (27), who goes by the nicknames Seun or Shoes. Anyone with information about these two men which could lead to their arrest could contact Botha at 083-697-0982.

Ms Holtzhausen said she was convinced that the Lord did help her ‘because the devil did not hurt her as much as they could have done.’ “I am terribly frightened now, the reality of what happened to me is only now beginning to sink in,’ she said this morning. Her fiancee reportedly also is ‘very quiet and their little boy also is very scared. “ Her older sister said “emotionally and physically, my sister is trying to be strong but she looks very poorly.’ The men had stolen her sister’s cellphone and her sister received a threatening phone call. from that cellphone: “Not one member of our family can sleep. Our lives have been immersed into chaos. Since that threatening phone call, which warned me that me and my other sister ‘would be next’, we have been unable to go to work,’ she said. http://www.volksblad.com/Suid-Afrika/Nuus/Sy-is-ontsaglik-bang-vertel-slagoffer-van-verkragting-20101028

Cape Town. A nine-year-old Darling girl fights for her light in Tygerberg Hospital after she was brutally raped, beaten, burnt with cigarettes – and then run over when she escaped from her rapist. Darling police are searching for Stephen “Fox” Isaacs (40), who was let out of prison on parole and lived with the child’s great-aunt. The police want to question Isaacs about the attack on the girl – she was beaten in the face and head, strangled, burnt with cigarettes and dragged by her arms among bushes and then brutally raped near Evita Bezuidenhout boulevard, Darling. She is in critical condition. http://www.nuus24.com/Suid-Afrika/Nuus/Negejarige-wreed-aangerand-verkrag-20101028

October 26 2010 JOHANNESBURG HIGH COURT – The execution-style, motiveless murder of white psychology student Bianca Warburton on October 14 2009 near the Alexandra Health Centre -- where she did volunteer-community service as a psychology intern in the so-named “Baby Mat Project’ -- was described by witness Charley Sikele in court: He pointed to co-accused Ntembiso Mseleku and said: ‘the man pulled a gun from his pants and ‘shot the white person dead’…

The three suspects were arrested in Alexandra that following Saturday as prime suspects in the motiveless murder – after tip-offs by the angered local community.

Warburton had stopped her car at a stop street near the clinic when the group, one armed, had simply shot her. "She died on the scene. They ran away without taking anything.” SAPS spokesman Maphakela said at the time. Although there was no evidence for his claim, he described the murder as ‘a botched hijacking’.

Picture: Her husband Clifford was on the scene shortly after the shooting: “He extended his hand, touched her face softly and kissed it. For several hours, her body lay on the road next to her silver Honda Civic outside Alexandra Clinic, where she had worked with mothers and children as an intern under the auspices of the Ububele Umdlezane Parent Infant Charity Project,” reported The Star at the time. For details of this psychologically-emasculating project referred to as the “Baby Mat’ project - and during which black men are made to wear pink dresses-- read below…

Sikele told the court that he was buying vetkoek from a vendor on the corner of London and First Streets when the so-named ‘botched hijacking’ of the English-speaking white student took place just before 10 am on Oct 14 2009.

Yesterday in court, witness Sikele pointed to co-accused Sthembiso Mseleku, 24, and said: ““He bridged (cocked) the firearm and then shot the white person with the firearm.” Sikele was being questioned by State advocate Deon van Wyk. Sikele described in detail, with hand gestures, how Mseleku had pulled a handgun from the front of his pants – and then shot Ms Warburton without “saying anything or doing anything beforehand”.

At the previous court hearing, forensic expert Albert Wessels also explained that the murder was unlikely to have been an accident. – which is the claim made by the defence: Mseleku had claimed that he was ‘being bewitched at the time and that the shooting had been a mistake”.

Testified Wessels: ““It would take a deliberate action... to fire this,” Wessels told the court of the 9mm Norinco pistol whcih police forensics determined was used to kill Ms Warburton, describing the amount of pressure needed to pull the trigger, and saying it had to be cocked manually.

Warburton was completing her masters degree in educational psychology at Wits University and was on her way to the Alexandra Clinic to help out in the “Baby Mat’ project. Nothing whatsoever was stolen or robbed.

This is the leftie touchy-feely “Baby Mat” project this girl gave her life for:

Picture: the “Baby Mat” project at the Alexandra Health Centre where murdered psychology intern Bianca Warburton was working, was a therapy-experiment of left-wing psychologists Tony and Hillary Hamburger. Black fathers participating in this project are made to wear dresses (pictured: one dad wearing a pink dress) to “act out their role as female carers” while the young family is seated on a so-called ‘baby mat’. Umdlezane is Nguni for ‘the post partum period where women support new mothers so that the mother’s primary focus can be her baby”. The psychologist and interpreter/co-therapist all sit on a mat in the busy baby wellness clinic and mothers i.a. fathers in dresses and their babies sit there to “discuss any concerns they may be encountering”. This registered trust actually received foreign funding for this farce under Section 6{1} of the Trust Control Act 1988 {Act 57} Trust number 010-472. These two psychologists who invented theses emasculating psychology experiments felt that ‘… “the political struggle for freedom which had culminated in South Africa‘s new democracy now needed to continue as a psychologically empowering campaign”… that there was and still is, “ a significant gap in the quantity and quality of counselling services in disadvantaged communities in South Africa. “ They also claimed that they were ‘able to identify the most urgent needs of the Alex community in terms of psychotherapy. Alexandra, they felt, was ideally suited to serve as a ‘test’ community. http://www.ububele.org/node/40

October 28 2010- WARDEN, Free State. Farm-workers discovered the blood-covered body of 43-year-old Free State farmer Christiaan van Wyngaard, 43 on the farm Goedehoop near Warden, in the Free State on Wednesday October 27 2010. Mrs Marie van Wyngaard, 55, was also found, tied up on the couch and covered by a blanket. The workers freed her. Mr Van Wyngaard’s body was covered in stab-wounds said SAPS sergeant Mmako Mophiring. Mrs Van Wyngaard was treated by a medical practitioner for traumatic shock. Nothing was robbed.

A pro-Afrikaner/Boer movement in South Africa is actively seeking support overseas for their battle against what they refer to as the ‘genocide of the white people’. One of their leaders, writer and journalist Dr Dan Roodt gave an interview to "Russian Reporter" in which he explained why Russia should be interested in the fate of the Boer-Afrikaners of South Africa….

--------------------

Q: Dr. Roodt, today you are leading organizations defending the rights of the Boers to preserve their culture and identity. Sixteen years ago, your nation ran South Africa. What has changed over time?

Today, our Afrikaner/Boer people, along with the rest of the white population of South Africa has fallen victim to a physical- and cultural genocide. Over the past fifteen years, more than fifty thousand whites have been murdered and 200,000 women of all races were raped. The ANC-regime refers to this extraordinarily violent society as just ordinary ‘crime’ – however essentially these murders, armed attacks on family homes and rapes form an integral part of the policy of the African National Congress government which is gradually depriving us not only of our Afrikaans language and culture, but also stealing our land and our livelihoods.

Crime has no race, but the violence by criminals is race-based. In our country, the murders, rapes and armed robberiesg are carried out primarily by blacks, not by Boers or English-speaking whites. When the leader of the ANC Youth League, Julius Malema publicly sings their genocidal hate-speech song Kill the Boer’, it is not surprising that his supporters are going to follow his advice by going out to kill us and plunder from us. These kind of songs and calls for murdering the whites also emanate from not only Malema, but have become commonplace at all the public meetings and demonstrations of the ANC. True, they issue these calls to kill us in their own tribal languages – and often when asked to translate will lie about it, saying that they sing about ‘peace and equality.”

“Over the past few years more than 3,500 white farmers have been brutally murdered . They rape women in front of their husbands with the words "We give you AIDS." All this is part of the policy of repression of whites through the use of violence, by armed attacks and by imprisonment on trumped-up charges, said Roodt.

Q Do you really want to say that things were better under apartheid?

Dr Roodt:

I was an opponent of apartheid and openly opposed this political credo. I believed that it was unfair that the black man was not allowed to sit next to me on a bus. Indeed, under apartheid, there was inequality between different race groups.

However, if we talk about human rights, then let's start with the right not to be killed, robbed, raped and being infected with AIDS by criminal rapists. These are far more important parameters of a human’s existence than discrimination of any kind. So I have to admit that the shortcomings of the former regime are childish pranks compared to the horrific violence happening in our country right now…

Question: “It seems you forget about the suppression of the black population, which has caused outrage around the world and led to the isolation of your country?”

“Separate existence of the regime in South Africa was neither bloody nor repressive. From 1948 to 1994 in clashes with police killed 520 blacks. Compare this to 174,000 white and black people who were killed over the past fifteen years under the ANC-regime…

Whites suffer more under the new regime – however the position of blacks has also deteriorated sharply.

For instance, during apartheid from 1948 to 1994, the life expectancy for blacks increased from 38 to 64 years. Over the past fifteen years under the ANC-regime, life-expectancy has dropped by ten years and some 30% of the blacks infected by AIDS today. If you look at the situation objectively, the inevitable conclusion that they had incomparably better lives during apartheid”.

You want a return to apartheid?

No, of course not. We are fighting for autonomy for our Afrikaner/Boer people from which we want to form our own seperate State. After fifteen years of bad experiences under the system of ‘coexistence”, it is clear that we must find a new solution. I do not see our people survive any other way physically other than creating our own nation-state in parts of South Africa.

You can define the boundaries of a future state?

It is a matter of negotiations. Hopefully, we'll find overseas partners that will help us to begin negotiations with the South African government. In this sense, we look towards Russial. .

Do you think that the Russians will understand you better than do others?

I think so. With all the differences between our two countries we both went through a process of disintegration. Only President F W de Klerk – referred to by many people as the SA Gorbachev, went much further…

However we Afrikaners have never forgotten the solidarity which the Russian people showed us during the Anglo-Boer War. We remember the hero of this war, Lieutenant Colonel Yevgeny Yakovlevich Maximov. We will never forget the name of a prominent politician, chairman of the Duma, Alexander Ivanovich Guchkov, who in 1899 arrived in the Transvaal Republic, together with his brother and helped the Boers in the war against the British invaders.

We also know about your song "Transvaal, Transvaal. Her last stanza, I would single out as especially important today for us:

"Transvaal, Transvaal, my country…

For falsehood God will punish us … reward us for the truth. "

But why today's Russia to support the struggle for the independence of the Boers?

Why did Russia support us Boers one hundred years ago? They saw the injustice of the British invasion - they believed in us and were not disappointed. Today, Russia has not just been witness to the injustice of the international community on many issues. I can tell you that the various representatives of our people have repeatedly appealed to various international bodies. Unfortunately, the world simply ignores our pleas. If they were to come from Bosnian Muslims, the Palestinians or the Chechens, each incident however is "an international concern." And no-one wants to talk about the genocide of the Boers and other whites in South Africa….

What are you going to do next?

We plan to hold an election only among the Afrikaner-Boers. We need to put forward our own new leaders who can re-unite our people and lead them forward in these troubled times. We have tried many different ways. Now it's time to stop experimenting and just start to live independently as a nation-state. This is the only way out. We Boers have nowhere else to flee to. We never were colonialists and invaders of Africa. We have long been the true indigenous people of our country. We have mastered it, we have built it up, we have turned it into a blossoming garden. Other people arrived in SA only after we Boers had successfully developed this land.

Have you ever been to Russia?

No, but I really want to visit your great country. I want to thank the Russian people for their support in the Anglo-Boer War. And I hope that in our days we will find understanding in Russia.”

Oct 26 2010 - “The Democratic Alliance party is deeply saddened by the senseless murder yesterday of Anna-Marie Rohrs, the wife of an Estcourt KZN farmer. This is yet again another murder of a farmer’s wife in the KZN Midlands,” said MP Alf Lees in a statement.

The DA extends its heartfelt condolences to Alex Rohrs and his family. The Estcourt teacher was murdered in cold blood and police are searching for two black suspects.

This is a family which has done so much for the people of all races in the area and in particular for the people who work on the farm.This murder follows soon after the brutal farm murders of Hilda Linyene, Zakwe Mlongwe and Loraine Karg.

Rural safety remains a problem of immense magnitude which the ANC simply does not take seriously enough. The disbanding of the Farm Commandos has left rural people vulnerable to the brutal and vicious attacks such as the attack on Mrs Rohrs that has left her dead and her family bereft.

ANC-regime spends millions on fancy offices and luxury house for SAPS commissioner…

Whilst the SAPS spends millions of rands on fancy offices and a house for Police Commissioner Bheki Cele, the SAPS remains with far too few police members and other resources to protect innocent South Africans from the violent and other crime that is rampant in South Africa. Whilst the SAPS are to be congratulated for apprehending a suspect, this is little comfort for the Rohrs family who have lost their beloved wife and mother.

The DA calls upon the Minister of police as well as the KZN MEC for Safety and Security to take their responsibility for the safety of all South Africans -- in particular the extremely vulnerable rural people seriously. They must make the presence of members of the SAPS in rural areas visible and extensive. Having police members sitting in distant police stations without access to motor vehicles will not save other rural people from attack, rape and murder. Statement issued by Alf Lees, MP, Democratic Alliance member of the NCOP, October 27 2010 http://www.politicsweb.co.za/politicsweb/view/politicsweb/en/page72308?oid=207724&sn=Marketingweb+detail&pid=90389

2010-10-27 Pretoria - A blaze that ripped through the third floor of the Pretoria Magistrate's Court brought trials in the civil litigation courts to a grinding halt as officials announced on Wednesday evening that court operations would be suspended. Staff was evacuated after the fire broke out shortly before 14:00 and one firefighter was treated at hospital for heat-exhaustion. First-appearance criminal matters now would be temporarily handled at the Pretoria Central police station, criminal cases were temporarily disposed and all family-courts were diverted to the Visagie Street court building.

The Boer-Republican-era building -- on the north-east corner of Koch and Pretorius Streets -- was erected in May 1889 by the Transvaal Boer Republic – the same month when President Paul Kruger laid the foundation stone for the nearby new “Raadsaal’, the Republic’s parliamentary building. The buildings were both designed by government architect S. Wierda and built by J.J. Kirkness.

Firefighters battled for several hours to contain the blaze as much of the historic building’s roofing structure was tin and timber, which kept on reigniting. By nightfall there was still visible smoke, but no flames. The roof had collapsed.

Pretoria fire department spokesman Johan Pieterse said one firefighter was taken to hospital where he was treated for heat exhaustion and discharged. No-one else was injured.

"It started at the offices. Everyone was evacuated and no one was injured," said Pieterse from the scene. By 17:00 the entire top floor of the building was gutted. Large clouds of smoke ballooned over the city, while firefighters wearing gas masks battled the blaze from platforms raised above the court building. The cause of the fire was not known. The nearby new magistrate's court building was unaffected by the fire.

Pretorius Street and Schubart streets, flanking the court, were closed as around nine fire engines were at the scene. A number of ambulances were also on standby. The large blaze attracted a huge crowd, who stood behind a police tape barrier and watched as firefighters attempted to prevent the blaze from reaching the bottom floors of the building. News24 User Anneke Lombard sent this photo to News24 via her Blackberry.

Tlali said most of the damage occurred in that part of the court building where the civil litigation court roll for trials. Officials and marshals would be on hand “to assist and direct members of the public and transport would be made available for people whose cases may have been referred to other courts around the city, including those that could be referred to the Atteridgeville court,”he said. Justice and Constitutional Development Minister Jeff Radebe said: "We urge our law enforcement agencies to work around the clock in order to get to the bottom of the cause of this fire. Should any foul play be detected, those responsible for this must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law." http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Blaze-closes-Pretoria-Magistrates-Court-20101027

Oct 27 2010 - Cosatu trade union secretary Zwelinzima Vavi has slammed the excesses of the new black elite in South Africa ‘with their luxury cars, people who enrich themselves from the black-economic-empowerment laws and spend R700,000 on birthday parties where sushi is served on the bodies of naked women… This insults the integrity of the poor and this makes me sick,’ he raged. (Picture of the ‘human sushi-plate’ at the recent 40th birthday party of businessman Kenny Kunene by Lucky Nxumalo.)

---------------------

The Cosatu trade union movement is a co-ruling organisation in the troika which runs South Africa together with the SA Communist Party and the African National Congress. Thus Cosatu is attacking its own partners, warning that the country is in the middle of a national crisis. ‘Corruption is a question of life and death in a democracy,’ he said. “Every day our public figures are accused of corruption. The abuse of political power for own gain is a ticking time bomb which is going to explode. The worst abuse of political power is when officials’ own families benefit from business-transactions. Our government must chose whether they represent the country’s citizens or only the business world’.

The country is in the middle of a national crisis, he said. “Cosatu is furious. We demand our freedom back from the elite. We demand an egalitarian society. This feast must come to an end,’ he said. “South Africa has spawned an uncaring, self-absorbed and indifferent elite whose major sport is an ostentatious display of wealth and power. Crass materialism threatens the spirit of selfless service that characterised our democratic movement.”

Many other South African blacks who dare to criticise the government in similar language and even highlight corruption inside the ruling ANC-party, are harshly dealt with. For instance, Stephen Khoza, who made the following video about the corruption in the public-housing sector, was arrested for fraud and allegations of ‘hijacking’ a black-economic mining company, Kalahari Resources, and this week the State will ask the Commercial Crimes Court to remand him and other co-defendants to the Sterkfontein mental hospital for ‘observation”.

On trial for fraud and for “ hijacking the mining company Kalahari Resources” at the Johannesburg Specialised Commercial Crimes Court are Sandila Majali, Linda Welhenica Dlamini, (both out on bail); Stephen Khoza (his video is posted below), Elvis Bongani Ndala and Harry Sferopoulous – the latter three, clapped in irons in the courtroom, were ordered to remain in custody: the State claimed that Sheropoulos and Khoza were 'patients who absconded from the Sterkfontein mental hospital”.

All four of Majali's co-accused are listed as directors of the "South African Community Government Union" on its website, www.sacgu.org, which carries bizarre graphs and pictures and wants to overthrow the ANC-regime. ( below)

The now incarcerated Steven Khoza even published a YouTube video named “Overview of Corruption in the Housing Sector’ – below - claiming that the distribution of SA government-housing is controlled by a syndicate of the “Xhosa-mafia and freemasons” which link people’s home-ownership rights to their ANC-membership and to the bond-holders’ jobs:

Instead, the State prosecutor Shaun Abrahams has merely asked the court to refer three of the incarcerated black men ‘for mental observation’ while two, Majali and Dlamini, were released on low bail…and merely ordered to appear in court again on January 18 2011 – while the State ‘further investigates the alleged hijacking of mining company Kalahari Resources…’

The three other accused, Stephen Khoza, Elvis Bongani Ndala, and Harry Sferopoulous, who were all wearing leg irons in court, would remain in custody until Friday, when the State was expected to ask the court to make arrangements to send them for mental observation.

All four of Majali's co-accused are listed as directors of the "South African Community Government Union" on its website, www.sacgu.org, which carries bizarre graphs and pictures.

According to the website, Khoza is the "Master" of the SACGU, Ndala the "deputy" and "doctor" Sferopoulous is in charge of "economics".

The SACGU states a new law, the "SACGU Statutes & Complete Company Act" would be published by December 2010.

This would give them wide-ranging powers which included to "lay and collect taxes, duties", "to borrow money on the credit of the Republic of South Africa", "to establish an [sic] uniform rule of naturalisation", "to coin money", "to provide for punishment of counterfeiting the securities", "to establish Post Offices" -- and much more.

The SACGU would "exercise legislation in all cases whatsoever", will become "the Seat of the government" and "exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State".

The SACGU website's home page carries clipart of a smiling aeroplane with a laurel wreath wrapped around it, a graph of a cord-less tower, a waiter with a hammer and a gavel on his tray and pictures of a dancing man and woman with the caption "culture masters".

The website Moneyweb reported last month that Sferepoulos was the one who actually made the changes to the directorship of Kalahari Resources, by removing the names of its real directors, Daphne Mashile-Nkosi and Brian Amos Mashile, from the database of the Companies and Intellectual Property Registration Office (Cipro). He allegedly listed eight new directors, including himself and Majali.

Sferepoulos was apparently a registered Cipro agent, which, according to Moneyweb, is any natural or legal person requiring interaction with Cipro. Sferepoulos told Moneyweb that, "according to the SACGU statute, it is the majority shareholder of all companies in South Africa, as such they [SAGCU] have the legal authority to remove directors with or without their consent". It was not clear how Majali was linked to Sferepoulos, although Moneyweb said Majali had recently signed over power of attorney to Khoza, the SAGCU "Master".

National Prosecuting Authority spokesman Mthunzi Mhaga only said the State “was still investigating the case”.

Majali's lawyer, John Ngcebetsha, told reporters outside court on Tuesday that the State's case was “weak”. Majali, who is said to be in financial trouble, is known for the controversial transfer of some R11-million which belonged to PetroSA to buy oil, to the African National Congress for its 2004 election campaign."The State's case is extremely, extremely weak against our client. They are moving on the basis of incorrect information.He himself is the one who alerted the other people that they have been removed [as directors]."

The High Court in Johannesburg last month ruled that Cipro should reinstate the original directors of Kalahari Resources, which owns a 40 percent stake in Kalagadi Manganese, the mining company developing an R11 billion manganese mine and sinter plant in the Northern Cape, as well as a smelter at Coega.

Kalahari Resources spokeswoman Mandlakazi Mpahlwa-Sigcawu has described the saga as "weird". "The story gets weirder and weirder... [during the high court case] a lawyer stood up and said he was representing SAGCU, the SA Community Government Union. They claim they have the authority to change directorships of any company in South Africa," she said.

Death toll of murdered Zimbabwean farmers: 23

Kobus Joubert, 70+, descendant of a well-known Voortrekker family and one of Zimbabwe’s foremost Afrikaner tobacco-farmers, was murdered execution-style by a murder squad on his farm near Chigutu, about 100km south west of Harare. The retired president of the Zimbabwe Tobacco Farmers Association (ZTA) was shot dead with one shot shortly after midnight on Tuesday, October 26, 2010.

His wife Mariaan had gone to investigate a suspicious noise shortly after midnight and was attacked by two armed men –and forced at gunpoint to remain silent. Shortly thereafter she heard one gunshot from their bedroom, according to a statement by the Zimbabwe Commercial Farmers’ Union. Mrs Joubert’s handbag was robbed – containing some American dollars and three cellphones. Their laptop computer also was robbed. While the gang was looting the lights went out and the attackers then fled the homestead. Mrs Joubert rushed to her husband but found that he was shot dead. Neighbours alerted the local police. Mr Joubert is survived by his wife, a son in Australia and a daughter in Zimbabwe.http://www.beeld.com/Suid-Afrika/Nuus/Bekende-Zim-tabakboer-op-sy-plaas-doodgeskiet-20101027

Heidelberg, South Africa. In one of the first such cases, Johannes Petrus Mashigo, a black Heidelberg informal trader, was jailed for a year for illegally selling the agricultural poison Aldikarb, which is illegally imported from the USA by the containerloads.

The country’s tens of thousands of armed criminal gangs use this powerful poison to kill dogs at the homes and farms of people they are planning to attack: often they will ‘silence an entire street’ to attack one specific white family, the court heard.

Mashigo was caught with 15 bags of Aldikarb - each containing just a few grams of the poison: enough pellets to poison several dogs. Informal traders often sell the little bags to people at taxi-stands, purportedly to kill rats with.

Aldikarb is a registered agricultural poison which is known in street-jargon as “Two-Step” because criminal gangs often poison guard-dogs at targetted homes, smallholdings and farms before striking at sleeping families – in fact they often ‘silence’ an entire street by poisoning all the dogs before striking one specific home.

Last year in Heidelberg, local residents organised Heidelberg Police Community Forum meetings during which statistics were collected from residents about their own experiences with dog poisonings: a shocking total of 500 dogs were reportedly poisoned according to just one local veterinarian. The local residents heard at the meeting that the forum members had managed to gather their own reliable information after police had failed to solve any of these cases – and obtained proof that a specific organised crime syndicate from the nearby Ratanda squatter camp was responsible for these mass-poisonings, always carried out before crime-sprees. However, residents said when they took the tip-offs from a reliable source – who’d risked his life to help them -- to the local Heidelberg police’s organised crime branch, they weren’t interested, saying that ‘this was not their job’. Obviously, this initiative has worked: the Heidelberg police has now arrested at least one of the people who were selling the poison.

--------------------

On Tuesday, Heidelberg Magistrate Gerhard Strydom sentenced Johannes Petrus Mashigo to two years in prison – of which one year was suspended for five years: provided he does not commit the same offence again. “One gets cold chills down your spine when you hear the details of the toxicity of these poisons and the widespread problem they cause in South Africa,’ said Strydom.

There is a discrepancy in the statistics submitted in Raubenheimer ‘s report: he claimed that in Heidelberg alone, 43 dogs were poisoned over the past 22 months: however the police-community forum statistics claimed that some 500 dogs were poisoned in 2009 alone. The dogs usually are poisoned from three to 14 days before the planned crime. Usually pellets of Aldikarb are placed inside sausages and thrown into the yard where the dogs live. There’s a time-pattern too: these poisonings are usually done between 22:00 and 6:00 and often on Sunday nights. Criminals will often ‘silence an entire street’ by poisoning all the dogs before striking at a specific residence or homestead, testified Raubenheimer.

Strydom said that he is taking into consideration the fact that while Mashigo did not poison any dogs himself, he sold the means with which the animals were murdered in order to commit violent crimes thereafter. “If one examines the seriousness of this offence, a completely-suspended sentence would not be appropriate as an example must be made to members of the community.” He sentenced him to the maximum-prison sentence allowed for such an offence: two years maximum, one year suspended.

The term "genocide" was coined by legal scholar Raphael Lemkin in 1943, writing:

'Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actionsaiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves.

The objectives of such a plan would be the disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of personal security, liberty, health, dignity and lives of the members of such groups...
